June 30, 2014 / submitted by pam soap, United States of AmericaQ. Hello Oracle, I was strolling through Coldplay's videos and I found the one for In My Place. I noticed two dark figures at the very back. Was that part of the video? If so why?

If you type in my place into the search field on the Oracle page, you will see I have answered this - most recently in April. It's also on wikipedia . The women were a wardrobe assistant and the then video commissioner at EMI, Faith Holmes. The reason the director (Sophie Muller) decided to keep them in shot was to show the expanse of the room.

I'm not sure if this had been answered before, but who are the two people sitting in the back of the In My Place video?

I like it! There have been quite a few acoustic performances of In My Place - mainly for radio show performances. None of are available on any official release which is a shame as I think it would have made a great b-side.

July 7, 2011 / submitted by Una, FinlandQ. Hi Oracle!
I was just watching Coldplay In My Place music video and I have one question... Who are the two people on stairs? :)

I assume that's after the last question I answered... In that case, that is DEFINITELY tagged so I'm afraid you'll have to go and check In My Place tags.

July 7, 2011 / submitted by Chloe, United States of AmericaQ. Dear Oracle, I was wondering where the music video for In My Place was filmed? I didn't see anything about it in the tag cloud, but if you've already answered this question, I'm sorry! :)

I was going to ignore this as you have sent it a few times and try to tell you telepathically about our Tagcloud. This question has been asked and answered before, ok so it was back in September 2009 but still...
You'll find it here.
Thought this would serve as a gentle reminder to all that if I don't answer there may be no need to keep sending the question as it may already be lurking within.

I was watching the In My Place music video and remembered something to ask... do you know who those people are sitting wayyy in the background that Chris runs up to? I'm sure you do, you're the Oracle. :]! Thanks a bunch!

Indeed I do; the stylist on the shoot and EMI's video commissioner. They were sat on the step when the band were setting up and the video's director - Sophie Muller - asked them to stay there to show the size of the room.
